RESOLUTIONS FROM ADA.
Anent the Death of Honorable C
L.
Herbert, of Ardmore.
Hon. J. T. Dlckorson, Judgo of tho
United States Court. Southern DU-
trlct, Indian Territory:
We, your committee appointed by tho
court to prepare resolutions on tho
death of Hon. C. L. Herbert, a mem
ber of tho bar of this district, respect
fully submit tho following:
First; Ijingungu cannot express
the profound regret nnd heartfelt pain
with which wo heard of tho death of
our friend and brother, Hon. C. U
Herbert, which occurred at liU home
In Ardmore at two o'clock yesterday
morning. m other member of the bar
enjoyed so largo n sharo of the con
fidence nnd respect of his professional
brethren nnd of tho eutlro people as
that worthily bestowed upon C. Ij.
Herbert. It Is no disparagement of
others to say that as a civil lawyer
he stood at tho head of his profes
sion. Hu had fuw, If any equals, and
certnlnly no superiors, In tills) depart
ment or tho law. To ins clients ho was
tho embodiment of fidelity, giving to
them untiring Industry, absolute hon
esty, a ripe and splendid Intellect, en
riched by great research and learning.
Io bis professional brethren ho
was always courteous and fair.
.ny agreement which ho mado
with them about his cases
were always scrupulously kept.
The simple word of C. U Herbert was
ns good among his brethren as tno
strongest written agreement. His con
duct towards tho courts was at all
times respectful, frank and character
ized by tho highest sense of honor. Wo
do not believe that ho ever sought to
mislead a court upon any proposition
of law or otherwise. Ho was truly a
great lawyer, and what Is bettor, ho
was a perfectly honest and reliable
man In all his dealings with his fel
ow men. His death is not only nn
Irreparable loss to his family and
friends, but also to tho ontlro people
of this sectlou of tho Territory. No
one can estimate tho value of sucli a
man to any community, especially to
a new country Ilko ours, which Is a
formative condition. Therefore, be It
Husolved: That In the death of
Hon. C. L. Herbort. tho bar of Indian
ferrltory has lost one of lta strongest
members and ono of Its brightest or
naments nnd our country ono of Its
best and most beloved citizens, who
whllo possessing all of tho attributes
of a great lawyer, was also a man
without reproach.
IlCBolvod: That 1i!b career furnish
cs to tho young men of our country
an examplo of Integrity and well dl
rccted energy nnd or reariess ettcoun
tor with nil of the vlclsaltudes of life,
worthy, of their approval and Imlta'
t,.
I uesoived: That ip uociarinig tnai
no uiHciiarguu ma wnum uuiy .u u
lawyer, as a citizeu, ana as a menu
wo lironounco ft high stud justly de
served eulogltim on tho lamented
dead.
Uesoived: That theso resolutions
be spread upon tho minutes of this
I CUltri, ailtl II1UI IIIU lUUril Ul IHO will L
court, nnd that tho clerk of tho court
reaved family of our deceased broth
er as an ovldenco of our appreciation
f his lifts and character and of ou
deep and heartfelt sympathy with
them in this their soro niuiction, nnu
thnt u copy.be furnished tho pross for

his memory.

Secretary Hitchcock Is Hell bent on
the Prosecution of Mannsfleld, Mc
Murray and Cornish and one
or Two Others.
Sincu tho return vi United State
District Attorney Johnson from Wash
ington the report hns been current
that tho cases against the Indicted
oillcials will bu dismissed. It is
known that Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Uussell wants to drop tho casoa
ami win uso ins influence In that di
rection, it Is learned that Attorney
General Moody Is nbscnt from Wash-
ngtou nnd that as soon as ho returns
he matter will bo presented to him.
it is stated that Secretary Hitch-
cock Is after the Indicted parties. Tho
met that he has had a personal griev
ance with the tribal attorneys. .Mnns-
noKi, iMc.Murrny nnd Cornish will not
ccmvlnco tho public thnt tho parties
aro guilty of nny wrong doing. Hitch- .
cock, it seems, has It In for tho firm
nd will mako tin effort to hrlnir them
to trial.
The following report from Wnshlnc
ton Is very Interesting.
"Iho secretary of the interior will
tako Issue with tho nsslstnnt attorney '
general. Mr. Uussell. In his recommen
dation thnt tho Indictments nnd pro
posed prosecutions - ngulnst Messrs.
Mansfield, McMurny & Cornish nnd
Treasurer Ward, who aro accused In
tho territory of manipulating school
warrants contrary to law, bo dropped.
It develops that the cases wero con- .
sldered exhaustively by Mr. Uussell,
who, until three days ago, was special
attorney for tho department of Jus
tice In charge of territorial and South
western affairs. Judge Uussell has
jiwt been promoted to bo assistant
nttornoy gecnral of the United States.
Beforo assuming his new duties ho
proposes to dlsposu of tho cases still
pending beforo hlm Ono of theso 18
that or the Indicted officials and at
torneys In the Indian Territory. Ho
proposes to recommend that no fur
ther nctlon bo taken .against them. .
This camo to tho ears of tho secretary
of tho Interior, who Is bent on their
conviction. Ho secured an order from
Uio president that the report on tho
caao and tho recommendations bo re
ferred to him beforo .being finally
passed upon, -so that ho, 'may comment
an them and- mako an independent
rejKirt. Tho Becrtlnry docs not at
tempt to dlsgulso tho fact thnt ho .la
after tho scalps of tho men who' lie
thinks havo so grossly offonded. Tho
firm of lnwyers, on tholr part, claim to
bo tho victims of Mr. Hitchcock's III
will. Thoy composo tho firm which
recently secured a legal foo ampunt-
lng to $750,000, In splto or tho opposi
tion of the' aecrotary of tho Interior.
Tho secretary opposed their contract
with tho Indians and thoy secureu
it through tho action of congress.
When their servlco had been render
ed, tho sqcretnry held up payment un
til every legal and other qulbblo had
boon exhausted to kccii them out of
their money, .In tho cnu "they won out
nnd secured. It, nnd they claim that
th secretary has not forgiven them,
for It. Whatover may bo tho real
prompting motives, It Is evident that
they will not .escnpo tho rcsulta or
their Indictment without a strong ef
for on tho part of Mr. Hitchcock to -hold
them.
Whllo a man's will may bo law, In
tho caso of a married man tho law Is
seldom enforced.
